TCH! - PSST!

Why?

Hm

Swa...

Swapna

All the best

Thank you, same to you

Come on sathya

Sir I will be there in two minutes

Hello

Hello Apoorva

Yes sir tell me

Excuse me for a minute

I Know Basic Editing.

Do you have any idea about After effects?

I am not well versed in After effects

Um...

...Will you work full time?

Uhmm! No sir, I'm only up for part time!

Consider working full time!

We shall pay you well!

Um...

It's...

...I have to clear the exams

Um...

Working full time will be a bit difficult sir

I would recommend working full time for your own benefit!

[SOUNDS CRACKLING] Do you own a system?

What sir?

Do you own a system?

Own system?

No sir

[SOUNDS CRACKLING] It is not possible without a system Apoorva!

Sir you are not audible

Hello...

I said it's not possible without own system

Okay, it's okay

- Better luck next time - Okay sir

Alright

Okay

-Thank you -Huh

[HUMMING SONG]

I will kill my father, he said!

Apoorva

How are you?

How is Yashoda doing?

- On hearing that, I fled! - Sir?!

[IN UNISON] Is it?

I had asked about your mother

I didn't recognise you!

[SOFT CHUCKLE]

Go and tell her...

...that her husband is not dead

Who are you?

[SOFT CHUCKLE]

I'm the one you need the most!

How do you know about my mom?

I will tell you at the right moment

Your leg is bleeding

Wipe it

Sir

Brother

Sir

Fate rules us

Brother a property is missing

Nothing can be predetermined

Come quickly, the director is on fire

Huh!

So why should anyone fear it?

In the blink of an eye, everything had happened!

If I hadn't met the oldie in green room...

Everything might have been fine!

I don't know

I started hunting answers for the questions formed in there!

More questions were awaiting me further!

The first question...

...who was he?

Your grandpa

You might have been pranked by one of our boys!

Haven't they fooled us to believe that my uncle knew about us, by sending Ram uncle previously?

Is this new for you?

Tch!

Swapna, there's no way it could be a prank!

I haven't seen him anywhere, previously!

You take petty things seriously

Hey

Did I perform well today?

Did anyone, by chance, notice my stutter during the monologue?

Nope

Swapna

If you don't mind?

Will you come for two minutes?

My parents are here...

- Thought of introducing you to them! - Huh... Okay

- Alright come - Wait a minute

- Hello - Hello dear

That Jerk Satya was introducing you to his parents, what was that all about?

Hold it dude ...What's that about?

Why you get so irked up on him Appu?

That was just a casual introduction

I find his behaviour weird now a days!

There's nothing else right?

Having a right viewpoint will make everything right

Woah!

I was not aware

Thanks madam

I will amend my ill thought

Don't you have any other job

apart from being jealous and doubtful?

Yes dear

I don't have a job

Concern is diminishing

I haven't cleared the exams

There is neither any money, asset nor influence.

You have no worries

You have a chunk of land amid the city

You have a car, a vehicle, and a secured job

I don't even own a place good for my grave!

My status...

...hm-hmm...

...Does not match

Isn't it?

If I ever considered liking you

based on your status, I had too many options!

Huh! I have seen your options

Take it

I think this is lacking a bit of salt!

You always find flaws with everything made by me right?

You're not satisfied with anything of me!

Isn't it?

Hey fool

What did say to micky?

That I am a Hamsalekha fan and I do not understand modern day love!

Am I an old school?

Hamsalekha has given a lot of hits to Ravichandran movies

Mind it

What do you mean?

Huh!

I had told you about a channel run by Ba**** Ravi.

He's looking for people to write articles.

I have sent his office address

Go and check it out

Thanks dude

I hope I will find a job soon, Swapna!

Sappe

Hm

Will you lend me two thousand rupees?

I will repay you soon.

Alright

Send yourself a thousand now!

I will send one more tomorrow morning.

Is that fine?

Hm

I have your costume bag; I'll give it to you tomorrow. Is that okay?

Also, my parents were overwhelmed to see you perform

Thanks sweetie

[HUMMING SONG]

Clear the exams at least this time

Time is slipping away Appu!

A delay will in time will lead to parental pressure

I

I will kill my father, he said!

On hearing that, I fled!

Apoorva

How is Yashoda?

How do you know about mom?

Tell her...

...That her husband is not dead yet!

Who are you?

Sir it's Apoorva

It's not Apoorn

Poorva (East)

Eastern direction

Yeah got it

Huh

There will be a training of three days

Then you can work remotely

You can go now

Sir

It's...

...what will be the pay?

We shall pay you ten thousand for now!

Let's see further

You may leave

Sir

You say it's four articles a day

It would have been helpful if you can pay me fifteen at least!

This is a new company Apoorva

Initially, you support is pretty important!

We will consider it in the futures

Appu, I would suggest you to join this company as

you would have a regular income

You can later work as freelance editor on the projects you get!

Let's see

Let him call

Come near the office at four thirty in the evening

There will be a review of yesterday's play

We can leave early

Hm?

Hm

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Sir

- Has the book arrived? - Yes It has!

- What's the bill? - It's five hundred rupees

- Five hundred? - Yes Five hundred rupees

Um...

This is enough for now!

- Why? - Next time...

...amount...

Okay

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Boss

Huh!

Money?

Huh

There was an old man in the greenroom at yesterday's show.

Tell your mother...

...he spoke weirdly that her husband is alive

Brother, have you lost your father?

His father left him when he was five

And he has not returned yet!

That's a different issue

I will narrate it in the next drink meet

You tell me dude

I saw the same oldie when I went to shop for the book

He vanished just before I could reach out to him!

I have a weird feeling about this!

Yo dude

Could someone be following me?

Bro

Which English movie did you watch last night?

Eat

It is obvious that an undercover agent is following you!

He will thrash the hell out of you [LAUGHS]

He will make you sit in your inners at the police station!

Damn you guys

I am being quite serious here!

Shut up! Why would someone follow you?

Damn him!

Damn you guys

Micky and Micheal...

So to swapna who bridged their love...

We will not fight again Swapna

Its true love this time around!

I will definitely marry her

Hey!

Damn you!

Where's my chocolate?!

Haven't I supported you love story?

I have only one, you guys can share it

That's not possible dude

I need an entire one

Let's do one thing Appu

You both stare each other in the eyes

The one who doesn't blink...

...We will give the chocolate to them

Hey kiddo!

Go and look after your business

Hey!

- That's a good idea - That's right

I am ready dude

Let's see...

...who has more potential!

Yes... Yes

Hey it's not possible

-Come on dude -I can't play child's game

Hey dude

Come on dude

Come dude

Please don't

Hey, do not worry! We shall see!

Sit down

"In the realm of closed eyes, The woods are our sanctuary,"

"A hefty filled burlap sack rolls and tumbles downward"

"Our bird, your bird, has been set free."

[IN UNISON] Your time starts now

"Oh love!"

"Please give me your attention"

"Your eyes have caused me to forget the world." [INDISTINCT CHEERS]

"Speechless Exhilaration"

"At the edge of the eye, like poetic eye drops."

Damn! Why did you blink?

That's awesome pal, you have won

You could have done it

You have won

Appu you have won

You may close your eyes

Bro!

The chocolate

Hello

I played my part too!

Appu bro

Bro

What happened?

What dude?

[GIGGLES]

Apoorn, I have seen your articles

You have a solid grip

Apoorn do one thing...

As we're off to Udupi for a documentary shoot,

... you can join us from next week!

Alright sir

Thank you so much sir

Here he arrived

He is our Gopal Master!

Once upon a time...

...he was an acclaimed author

He was great at his thriller series!

But I don't know...

...Suddenly, he stopped everything

He roams wildly

He always stays alone

He wanders with books on his bicycle

He gives his books to the readers for free

He don't have any home or family

No one knows his background!

He offers help to the plays happening in and around the city

That too, without asking for a pay!

Food and shelter is enough

He doesn't speak

He argues that words will not aid here

He doesn't wear any footwear recognising the disparity!

You will get to know him better as the time passes!

You will see

He will be with us for the show!

Ain't he a crazy guy?

He doesn't have any commitments or wishes

Has no worries about the future

[SCOFFS]

Would you have accepted if I had been the same?

This feels good just to express!

This is called madness

What about his family?

[SCOFFS]

Hey Sappe

I got a job

They asked me to join from next week

It's a good news Appu

Primarily let's shop for couple of shirts for you

You wear the same shirt every time you go out

Mom

I got a job

They said to join from next week

May god bless you son

[GASPS] Slowly Devaiyya

What happened?

Now a days my legs ache a lot Appu

Devaiyya is massaging my feet

Ratna

Son got a job in Bangalore

Sweet treat is nothing

I will offer a meat feast

Appu will you visit for the festival?

Appu?

Huh!

Huh

I will not get a leave in the training period

Have you dined?

I have to eat

Ratna

Keep aside the new clothes

Appu wait a minute

I will call you back

Okay

Alright, bye

Who is it?

Apoorva

[PANTS]

Damn!

Who on earth asked you to dry your underwear on a gas stove?

Yo

It was wet so I was just drying it

Your burnt underwear is going viral on WhatsApp

Shall I make it a trend on twitter?

#blackunderwear

Hey shut up and walk

Hello

The baby has burnt his undie

Hey!

- I will go get the book - Okay

Huh

Sir

Stop

Sir hold on

Sir

Apoorva, following me is not worth it!

You cannot get hold of me now

I am not...

...you are the one who is following me

How do you know my name and my mother's?

I will tell you everything when we meet again

Do not waste your time following me until then!

I will not leave until my questions are answered

Why are you following me?

What do you want?

I need a bit of time Apoorva

- Now you leave... - Sir I can't get it

Please say something and leave!

Hello

Where the hell are you?

[KANNADA FOLKLORE]

You did not listen to me the last time

I am going nuts!

I see that oldie where ever I go

Tch!

What are you talking?

Are you well?

Yes brother

How is your mother doing?

Brother! Why are you leaving now?

There seems to be a delay in MLA's visit.

Take it

I have given the vehicle to Satisha

Take it

Won't you come tonight?

Nope

You will enjoy a lot then

Where's mom?

She's near the temple

Ladies left already

Alright

Let's go everyone! Its time

- Alright brother. - Coming

Hey get up you idiots

What's your problem dude?

Tch!

I am so worried!

I went to close the windows as it was raining!

Hm

I saw my look alike outside!

Tch!

He disappeared in a moment

Damnit!

We can call that an illusion

But this oldie

This oldie is not an illusion dude

I spoke with him today.

Something is fishy dude

My heart is not at peace

Who on earth will follow you?

You always mind your own business!

Shall I file a police complaint?

They'll laugh at you if you say that an old man follows you.

Dude

This cannot be solved.

There's no one at my place.

Let us have a cocktail party with few experts!

Everything will be cleared

What do you say?

Damn you!

Tch!

Hello

Meet me today evening by four

There's not much work at the office

It's a surprise

Alright ma'am is here, bye

Sir has been to Heggodu.

Hence the rehearsals stand cancelled

Damn!

[SCREAMS SHARPLY]

Damnit!

Are things I see, really happening in this world?

Or am I able to see things happening only in my world?

I don't know that

Yet, the first question remains unanswered!

However, the second question stands right in front of me!

What's happening to me?

Hey!

♪ [SINGING] Jai Jai Ram Sita Ram ♪

[SCREAMS SHARPLY]

[SCREAMS SHARPLY]

Mom how's the leg pain?

Devaiyaa took me to the hospital Appu

I have been prescribed some medicines

Next week I have to visit again

"sugar level has been increased" they said

Appu, did you eat?

Appu

Appu, did you eat?

Appu, are you there?

Hello!

Shhh!!

Sss... Shit!!

Appu

What did you feel about me asking time!

I was pretty confirmed that you loved me too!

Confirm?

Don't blabber

Tch!

Don't I know about you?

If you hadn't liked me...

...then you would had denied me of love!

When you asked for time...

I was 90 percent sure that you would agree!

Swapna

Thanks dear

This was one of the best days in our relationship

It will be remembered forever

You never spoke to me this candidly?

I know it will be too cheesy

But today It brought back the memories of our first date!

You were holding my hand for the first time

You correcting my hairs

Our first hug and kiss

I recalled everything

I don't know why but I feel like crying

Please don't let me go Appu!!

Everything will be fine

You will settle soon

I trust you

Why have you called me this early in the morning?

Are you not over yesterday night yet?

Swapna come to my room immediately

I have something important to discuss with you

But I need to be in the office

Any how we will be meeting in the evening right?

We'll talk.

Swapna it's really important

Don't give me reasons

Come, Please!!

Please

At least tell me what's up

Am I not trying to tell its important?

Understand

That's it, you have to be here

It's difficult for me to come suddenly

Please try to understand, I have work

Swapna

Tch!

Alright! I will come!

What do you mean that's not you whom I met yesterday?

We had such a great time

After a very long time it was such a joy you know

But now you are stating something else

Sappe, Im not lying!

I was at home, yesterday

Actually...

...I saw you both together near your office

I tried calling you many times!

It ringed for the first time

Then it was switched off!

Stop kidding Appu

Did you make me skip office to tell this?

Slack!

Why should I lie?

I saw him dropping you at the corner of the road

standing on my terrace!

I tried to follow him too

Damn! But he escaped!

Okay

Let's assume that there's another guy like you...

How will he know about our personal stuff!

That too, so accurately!

I am not able to understand too!

When I saw yesterday's video

...I screwed up

Till today...

...I assumed him to be my illusion

But it's very clear

Both old man and him are

...doing something with my life!

Have you gone mad Appu,

Seriously

Am I mad for speaking truth?

No one is understanding my problem

I am not being acknowledged by the girl I am in love with

...How should I make others understand!

You're not talking logic here!

Yeah! Because Im an unemployed right

Hence I am passing time with lies

You're pretty busy with life! Aren't you?

Go mind your own business!

Tch!

Yesterday, you behaved so well.

What happened to you suddenly?

Yesterday I was not the one with you

I haven't met you yesterday

This is getting really irritating Appu

That's right

I am an irritation to everyone

There's no sense in talking to me! Is it?

Why are you still standing here?

Leave

I will find my own solutions to the problems I have!

Alright I will leave

The door is open

There's no necessary to repeat it again and again

Non-sense

Sorry Swapna

Sorry

Sorry!

Hey!

Sorry!

I am not able to understand on what's happening around!

[WEEPS]

Sorry

I am speaking weird

Sorry

Hey calm down

Come on! don't cry, wipe your tears.

There's something weird happening

from past two to three days!

Freshen up!

[SOBING]

Sir

Hm

[Greetings]

Hello

Who are you?

Sir my name is Arivu

I am from Mysuru

Arivu?

You have a nice name!

Thank you

What is it?

I found out about Ratnakar Shastry's

seminar at Kuvempu kalabhavan

Hence I have come

They asked me to wait here to catch a bus

and there's no sign of it for an hour

Gopal! Do we still have time?

The roads aren't good either!

It will take around half an hour

That's fine Mr. Shastry, we can go

Mr.Shastry...

He is Arivu

He's here from Mysuru

To listen to you

Hello sir

Huh-uh

Shall we take him along too?

He might arrive after your speech if keeps waiting for a bus!

You need someone to talk to while travelling.

Alright

Come on

Hop in

Come

Thank you sir

I never expected this encounter with you sir!

I am pretty happy

Sorry what is your name?

It's Arivu

Arivu

Nice name

What do you do in Mysuru?

I own a business sir

I have a huge interest in art, literature and history!

I am here after reading your book on Amoghavarsha

I am happy that you have come

In the times where history is forgotten

...it's good to see that you have come so far for history

"A hundred questions concealed within the eyes."

"Pursuing the bird that has flown from the nest."

"A journey far down the memory lane."

"Pay heed to the call of the dream."

"Time won't pause during the journey."

"What distant shores beckon, O sailor of fate?"

"A soul, fearing the tomorrow's wait,

with a concealed lightning as a guardian harbouring within."

"The path has beckoned you."

I am really happy to meet you and sir "The unseen shore calls out to you..."

Thank you "The unseen shore calls out to you..."

Gopal I will take a leave now "The unseen shore calls out to you..."

You could have come home for just ten minutes

I have told my wife to cook for you

My friend is the principal at Vivekananda college

I had already promised him that I would join him for lunch!

There will be havoc if I don't go there!

I will make a move, please forgive me

If you don't come then disaster will strike in my house too

Do one thing

Take this boy

He has come afar!

Rather than eating at a restaurant...

...let him dine at your house

"Like a cloud drifting in the sky."

"A journey knowing no bounds."

"The mind that bestows love,

has now embraced this moment."

"Continuing beyond the crossroads"

"your path persists in its own way."

"Crossing the boundaries of questions,"

"and the manner in which you await answers."

"A new horizon awaits the dawn of tomorrow."

"Today belongs to you."

"A life that never sips the cup of defeat is solely yours."

"Your journey belongs to you; your path is yours alone."

"A hundred questions concealed within the eyes."

Arivu

This is...

...a weapon from the British Era!

Hey it's sharp!

I have a wish...

...to collect the Srinrangapatna general's sword

But I am low on finances

[CHUCKLES]

That's a coin from Vijayanagara's period

If you can see further,

...There's a silver coin from the Nizam's era too!

I have invested half of my earnings

You know I like history man

An incident occurred in the Chalukya's period

Once...

...He lost all his monthly earnings

...while trying to buy an urn!

[GIGGLES]

Our luck is that he didn't let us go hungry!

Sister-in-law

It's not a normal urn Sister-in-law

The money he paid is less compared to its historical value.

Even I like to collect coins

Even I have some coins from Rashtrakuta's period

Awesome!

Arivu do you have to leave today

Why?

There's a guy called Kallaiyya...

...He owns a coin library!

There are a lot of collections!

I wanted to take you there

On the 24th,

...at the same time!

...from our team...

...We will be putting up a show at Mumbai Kannada Sangha!

[HOOTS IN UNION]

Yo dude

I will be here by eight in the morning!

There's some props in our old godown, we shall get it

-Hm -Apoorva

Huh

Some random professor gave this letter to me

Hm

He has some small editing project

It's a two-month work.

He will pay 30-40 thousand rupees a month

Visit them early in the morning

While you were searching for part time work

I had asked a few about the part time work!

They must have recommended for the same!

Arivu

Sir

- Rain doesn't like, you searching history - Take it dear

Huh

Take it

Rain will not come in Rayadurga...

...it won't stop if it rains

Anyhow It's raining heavily!

...he can stay here tonight

Alas! please don't...

-Ah yes -He can leave after breakfast!

- You stay tonight and leave in the morning. - That's right pal

Do one thing...

...after breakfast we can visit Kalaiyya's house

I will drop you off from there

-Yes -What time is the train?

It's eleven-eleven fifteen

Eleven-fifteen!

I will drop you off

I know only basic editing

They are offering 30-40 thousand!

They must be having great expectations

considering their offer!

You don't assume everything Appu

Has the company called you yet?

They said they might call the day after tomorrow!

You visit once

If it works out then

You can earn ten months' worth of money in two months!

Then you can focus on studies without any worries

Hm?

Hm

May I come in?

Oh Devaki

Come in

Brother told me to give this to you

Alright

It's okay if you're comfortable sleeping in pants!

Which book is it?

Um...

Oh it's Shikari [Hunt]

Even I like Chittala's writing

Have you started now reading it?

No I have read it

I was glancing at it as it was there!

Oh

What are you doing?

Currently I am helping sis-in-law in tailoring work

Um...

Even I wish to write stories and novels like my brother

But what to do...

...My creativity dies just on the second page

... when I start writing!

[BOTH CHUCKLES]

I wish to act in movies and play's too

But I am scared

Brother recommends me to study further

But I don't feel interested

Have to do further planning

I just roam without purpose

Pity that my brother has to feed me with his meagre earning

- I heard that you're form Mysore! - Yes I am

We had been to Dasara last time around,

There was a huge crowd

Couldn't see anything properly

Come this time

- You guys can stay at my house - Definitely I will come

I like this Jambu Savari...

...this police parade...

...this Mushtikaalaga...

...also the bike stunt...

Aww... I just wish to see all those

Oh!

Hey, thank you

Where do you want to go?

Basavanagudi

Is it?

Then do one thing

- You take the Omni. - Hm

- The two-wheeler might be required here. - Hm

- I have to travel the same route in the noon. - Hm

We shall go to the market

Alright

Give it to him

Be careful

Close the door and go

Alright

What?

Hm

Will you drive?

Yes, hop in

Brother and sis-in-law had to leave on work!

Now we both have to go

If it's far you can tell me, I will drive

No issues

I am a good driver

Hm

Hey!

Apoorva

Calm down Apoorva

It might be an illusion

Apoorva

I am not your illusion

I am here

I am beside you

Don't go to that editing job for the sake of money Apoorva

It's a trap

It's a trap...

Who the hell are you?!

Please

Please listen to me

Please...

[GASPS]

- This is his house - Huh

I'm coming

Apoorva

Here

I was the one who gave that letter

That's fine Kallaiyya

Huh, have a seat

There are a couple of coins in this!

- Have a look - Huh

Thank you

Since how long are you collecting the coins?

Since few days sir!

Huh

Where are you from?

Mysuru sir!

Where are you from?

It's Mysuru sir

Where are you from?

How many times will you ask Kallaiyya

He said that he is from Mysuru

But

Where in Mysuru?

It's Kuvempu Nagara sir

[HICCUPS]

Dad water

Dad I want water

[HICCUPS]

I will be back in a minute

I will get it daughter

Why are you looking at like that?

This is my friend's place

He's pretty into the movies

Who are you?

Hey!

Taste it before its cold!

Why are you following me?

Is Swapna well?

How is Yashoda?

Is her leg pain fine?

That's none of your business

What do you want from me?

I had told you that day

... about me meeting you when the time comes!

Now that Time has come! Apoorva

Have you seen this?

A Gramophone

It's pretty old right?

Um!

What happened?

I am unable to find my purse

Have you left it back at the house?

I don't know, give me a minute

It's fine

I will give it to Kalaiyya,

We can check it out after returning

It's fine to take it in next visit

Kallaiyya has to wait till your next visit

Are you the only one who has interest in collecting coins?

No need

Be quiet

I know that you have lot of questions

I will try to answer it

My name is Arivu

I am from Mysuru

I have to come and search for you to

...conduct an experiment, Apoorva!

Huh?!

Experiment?!

Sir, I have come here for an editing job!

I will leave

I will pay you ten lakhs

Apart from you...

...no one is capable to do this work Apoorva

You have a weird strength

Basically, its difficult to not blink for two to three minutes!

You have an incredible ability

...to not blink for thirty minutes straight!

You don't know about your strength Apoorva

This is Vremya

One eye blink after application of this eye drop is enough...

...till thirty three years...

...we can travel to past timeline

Till a guy don't blink...

...till then he can stay in that timeline

Huh?!

Vremya

...is designed for time travel Apoorva

I want to know about a thing with the help of this

I cannot control the blink for longer periods

Hence I have come to you

Huh?!

I am not interested in this sir

You can opt any other guy

I'll leave

Don't you remember me telling you that your father is still alive?

Are you not interested in seeing him?

I will not get trapped into this

Have you blindly trusted everything your mother told you?

She's my world

What was the reason for your father to leave you?

Have you asked anything about it?

I am not interested in knowing about the guy who left, satisfying his lust!

But that's not the truth.

I don't need to learn about that

You don't have the guts to learn the truth!

Who are hell are you sir?

How do you know about me and my father?

I was so close to your dad!

Your father is not a coward as you have assumed!

He tried a lot

But...

...It didn't work out!

Alright

I will make your father stand right in front of you!

Do you dare to ask him the same questions!

Kalaiyya

Kalaiyya

Huh

Dad it's getting late for the train, I am leaving now

Have water! Before you leave.

Kallaiyya

What happened?

Alas!

What's this Kalaiyya?

Arivu

Arivu please come here

What happened Devaki?

Tch!

She's my daughter Revati

She left for Mysuru five years ago

Hm!

She has not returned

It's her picture

I have to see her once

I always hunt for century old items!

But...

...I couldn't search my daughter

You are from Mysuru right...

...have you seen her anywhere?

No sir

If you finish the task that I say...

the answers to your questions, and the money required...

...you will get both

Kallaiyya

Have you started again?

How many times should I tell you! Revati is gone!

She will never return

Stop searching for her! Kalaiyya

Look at what you have done to yourself!

[HICCUPS]

- Revati! - Kallaiyya!

Dad I want water

- Kalaiyya I am Devaki... - Revati!

Hello

Where are you bro?

We need the car

I am trying to connect you over call since long

It's not getting connected

I am coming

Come soon, everyone is waiting for you yeah...

He's coming dude

I have to leave

Get back soon

Questions won't leave you at peace

Devaki...

Kallaiyya

...come

We have to leave, nothing seems right!

She's my daughter

Where are you taking her?

Kallaiyya Please understand

Where were you?

Kallaiyya calm down

Look

Kallaiyya

You leave

- Kallaiyya - Kallaiyya it's not like that

- Devaki... - Why did you lie?

Kallaiyya

Hey

You don't speak!

I said you don't speak

- Kallaiyya he's Arivu... - Nope!

She's my daughter

Come Devaki

Hey!

Don't speak

- Kallaiyya please understand... - don't speak

- Kallaiyya wait a minute... - She's my daughter

Kallaiyya Please

I will not leave her

Please Kallaiyya

Kallaiyya!!

She's my daughter

Kallaiyya!

Look what have you done?!

Arivu

"Go and play, return to me, my dear child. I shall purify your feet"

"and with pure coconut water, I'll refresh your radiant countenance(face)."

[GROANS PAINFULLY]

Is it fine?

It's fine sir

After he got to know that you're from Mysuru

...he reacted thinking of his daughter!

I spoke with him

He's very much guilty about it!

He had lost his sense

Sorry Arivu

I should had come with you

That's fine sir

No one knew what was going to happen?

I really have to thank Devaki

If she was'nt there he would have killed me.

Why do you speak like that?

Take care!

See you in the morning.

- Come on - Hm

But Arivu

Sir

I think you have a bond with this town

[CHUCKLES]

Hence this town is not leaving you

Take care.

Alright sir

Devaki

Thank you

Mom

When did dad leave us?

What happened to you?

Tch!

Mother, Please let me know

The day you turned five

What was the reason for him to leave?

It still remains a question to me

He was alright the day when he left

But couldn't get to know what were his thoughts?!

You never asked me about this!...

...Why today?

What happened Appu?

Dad always looks like a villian to me

Like in the movies!

- Having affairs... - Apoorva

I am the reason for all your assumptions

I haven't told you anything about him

Responsibility, fear, pain...

...haven't given me an opportunity to speak

I remember him say that he was working on some documentary

I waited too long

I also had registered a missing complaint

We found his car near the Shantala bridge

We searched the river, thinking he might have drowned.

Nothing worked out

Dad...

...Might still be alive! Isn't it?

I have no trust in him being alive!

Why do you remind me of the past??

[INHALES DEEPLY]

I am feeling tired

Will talk to you tomorrow

APOORVA

Travelling so far...

...might be difficult for a beginner

You have to enter the date, time and place that you wanna travel to in this watch

Take it

Enter any date, time and place

blink only after you apply eye drops to both of your eyes!

You'll be nervous for the first time!

Gradually you will adapt

Are you ready?

"Life is a riddle"

"our path is barren"

"Running in circles, it's a circus we in a centrifuge"

"Discover as we enter new"

"perceptions, we get introduced"

"to a whole new uncomfortable truth, searching for a clue"

"There are a hundred thorns in the path of dreaming"

"we are filled with questions that don't have answers"

"Finding answers through the present and the past when we integrate"

"Fate is the reason I have made myself the enemy"

"Find what you gotta find"

"Seek what you gotta seek"

"Earn what you gotta earn"

"Gotta catch it now Before you blink!"

"Run where you gotta run"

"Reach where you gotta reach"

"Learn what you gotta learn"

"Gotta catch it now Before you blink!"

"Feel like I'm running around, like where am I now?"

"Who the hell am I?"

"Things have been spiralling down"

"Spiralling down, now where the hell am I?"

"Running from places to places,"

"Searching for ages, been looking for the truth"

"While I've been now turning the pages, I am!?"

"You remain a stranger to your own being."

"Life, to the world, remains unknown."

[GROANS]

[GROANS]

Don't blink suddenly in front of people!

Blink only when you're far away from people!

You will create trouble for people who are in contact with you within the same timeline.

Sir

Can I get some water?

When did father leave us?

The day you turned five

What's the reason for him to leave us??

It still remains a question to me

He was alright even on the day he left

"Embarking on a fresh quest, in the absence of sight."

"In the darkest realms, a fresh vision enchants."

"Is life a series of twists, or do twists define life?"

"The shores of new beginnings have a boundless sea ahead!"

It hardly takes fifteen minutes to reach bridge from the house.

Even if he had left the house at 2:10 PM,

...he would have arrived by 2:30 PM

[GRUNTS AND GROANS]

[RADIO PLAYING]

Where's everyone?

My brother wanted to go to the hospital

He left in the morning as the rain eased

What happened?

Um... I do not know much!

He usually visits the hospital

It might just be a regular check up

How's your pain now?

Yes it's getting better

After taking rest, I'm feeing good

Hands up

[GRUNTS SOFTLY]

I am not worried about the destroyed bottle!

Your impatience is what saddens me!

I made a mistake in this too

I should have informed you earlier about the rules

You can only travel three times a day

The bottle broke and the eye drops were wasted,

you escaped somehow.

Otherwise, you would have lost your eyes

You said that my father is alive!

But...

...He jumped into the river right in front of me...

...And lost his life!

You're talking about the rules now.

You're being gradually introduced to everything

You'll understand everything as we proceed

At least tell me what I am supposed to do?

The next morning

you have to go to the place where your father went before he died

You cannot stop him from jumping into the river

If you wanted to stop him, you should have stopped him on the first attempt.

You haven't done that

After he jumps into the river

It's your responsibility to save him

Apoorva

You only have one chance

For your father to live

...you must save him on the first attempt.

Take it

An important thing...

...No one should know about you time travelling!

You can only travel thrice a day

In the past timeline...

...three to four...

...morning and afternoon

...you can not travel between this time.

Huh?

What?

Three to four are blank hours

What ever occurs between this time period

cannot be accessed

I can't understand anything sir

You have completed your quota for today!

Wait till the time refreshes

Save father tomorrow

I will inform you on what to do next.

He is blind prophet Tiresias

That means I won't be able to talk to you for the next two months

Will you not come for the Mumbai show too?

I don't know

At least for my happiness, please say that you will try

Sappe

I have got an opportunity to achieve financial stability

if I stay focused for just two months, it will be beneficial for both of us

Appu

Shall I come to your room today?

Please don't deny it

I really want to spend time with you

No

I have to leave early in the morning, tomorrow

Fine

You are blind despite having two eyes

You cannot see the catastrophe of your own life

I will leave sir

Where are you going?

To Durga

Take some rest

He's going to Durga

He has to mail a telegram urgently

Thus, he is departing

Gopi, give me the car key

We will leave

That's ok Devaki

I am fine

I can go alone

Take care

Okay sir

Careful!

[HUMMING SONG]

Please forgive me Arivu

I made a blunder in memory of my daughter

I did strange things remembering my past

I felt like my head would burst

I couldn't sense what I was doing.

When did your daughter leave the house?

An afternoon on October 14th, 1991

She left to Mysore with her friends by train

She never returned

I always used to drop her off

But that day...

I was too busy

"The march of time imparts numerous tales."

"What lies beyond the flowing river's bend?"

"Much like a river that pauses in its journey, only to reverse its course."

"Similar to the reappearance of weathered pages from the past."

"This is a web of time."

"It's an everlasting debt"

"Cleanse yourself of the weight of past."

"Embark on a quest for uncharted horizons."

"Chase behind, rooted in the same place."

"Embrace life anew and witness."

"Chase behind, rooted in the same place."

"Embrace life anew and witness."

"Who is it that the mind wanders in search of, here and there?"

"If the narrative shifts, life shall brim with curiosity."

"For what reason have you pursued your own self?"

"Has the world become unfamiliar now?"

"In the gentle breeze, breath finds its rhythm."

"The light emerges as the current dark cloud dissipates."

"Within you, the melody awaits;"

"Endeavour to live anew."

"Chase behind, rooted in the same place."

"Embrace life anew and witness."

I couldn't save him sir

it was already three o'clock

Blank hours, started

Though...

...Sir, why might he have decided to die?

You will be answered for everything Apoorva

I will observe the time, and will let you know on what needs to be done.

Write down your mobile number here

I will call you,

Until then you don't have to meet me

[SINGING NAGARAHAVU MOVIE SONG]

Arivu

No sir

Little

I don't drink sir

Have it!

No, don't want sir

Are you shy about drinking?

I am not used to it sir

A man

Should be in a state as if he is always drunk.

What to drink?

Wine

Poetry

Virtue

Whatever it is!

One must indulge in drinking!

Pass me the chips!

He just wants a reason to drink

I recall having read it somewhere.

Huh

It's a quote spoken by Baudelaire

Arivu

Sir

I think you didn't get his words

Do you know the Persian poet Rumi?

I know sir

He quotes...

...the wound is the place where light enters you

One has to be wounded for light to enter.

He is wounded

light might enter him

[CHUCKLES IN UNISON]

I'm leaving for the first train tomorrow

I had left all the work unfinished before leaving Mysore

Everything there is now disorganised

I must go

Arivu

I have to tell you something

Due to that incident at Kallaiyya's place,

you spent a couple of days with us

We might have not spoke much...

...We liked you a lot

As they say...

Spiritual,

Company...

Like that

Who are you?

Where have you come from?

What's your story?

We do not need any of those!

Devaki...

Stop it! Brother

It's nothing Arivu

Alas!

You please be quit

Look

If you don't have the courage to say

then be quite

He's making an effort to say!

[INHALES DEEPLY]

Arivu I like you a lot

I wish to live with you

That's what I meant

Don't add up things.

Um... There's no love though

Alas! Arivu please don't mind

I just came up with it!

Thank you

for offering me the opportunity to spend the rest of my life with you.

- Apoorva! - Huh

Please take master along with you today!

My wife is experiencing labour pain

I am leaving to go there directly

Alright sir

Master, could you please make an adjustment for one day?

Feel free to reach me if anything's needed

Careful sir

Shall we leave?

Master please

Bye... Bye [IN UNISON] Bye

Take care

This is my place

Come in

Um!

Master! Please come in

There are a lot of mosquitoes in the vicinity.

Sir has welcomed a baby boy

It calls for a cocktail party tomorrow night after the rehearsals!

No one should miss being there!

[GIGGLES]

Come, let's have a look at Sir's baby, if you don't have any work

Let me wake up the master.

We will go together

Sir

Psst!

Sir

Wake up Sir

Sir

Um, Sir

Si...

Sir!

Huh!

Sir?!

Sir!

[GASPS]

Oh my god!

He lived a secretive life

We don't know anything about him

apart from the fact that he used to write detective novels

Like this...

...ten years ago

I met him at a play's set work!

He has a child's heart.

Hatred, selfishness, ego...

...he had nothing

He's so cute sir

What have you named him?

- Hey - [GASPS]

He was born just yesterday.

Will he think of a name suddenly after it's born?

We already have a name in mind!

Likewise, sir would have thought of something!

Isn't it sir?

Arivu

Arivu!

Name is quite unique

My name is Arivu

He had written a story called Aganthuka

The main character in that story is Arivu.

When I read that story...

...I liked the name a lot!

I had already decided by then.

If it's a baby boy, then I would name him Arivu

Did that story get published?

Nope

He used to write stories while he was drunk

Nothing has been published

I liked this story out of a few that he has written.

It's...

...a story of a time traveller

That time traveller's name is Arivu

Sir can I get that story?

Yes he's kept couple of files in my home

I will check if it's there in it

"Haunting curiosities"

- Sir, - Huh "wear myriad faces."

- Greetings - "wear myriad faces."

Hello

You? "The mind, a dense woodland,"

I am Arivu "The mind, a dense woodland,"

I have come from Mysore "The mind, a dense woodland,"

Arivu... ""Harbours a mystical creature within."

...He had captivated me in our first encounter "Harbours a mystical creature within."

In just a couple of hours of talking "To whom will you render toll when the path finds no conclusion?"

I felt a strong connection with him "To whom will you render toll when the path finds no conclusion?"

"To whom will you render toll when the path finds no conclusion?"

Hm-hmm

Hm, I am typing

Tch! Not that

What do you feel about Arivu?

You tell me how you feel about him.

Um... I liked him a lot

He has some uniqueness about him

He attracted me a lot

B-But...

...I don't know about him

Is caste a problem?

Tch!

Not like that

I don't know how to express that to you.

One day...

- ...it was raining - Hm

Your sister-in-law was working at the garments in front of my office

[GIGGLES]

Until the rain stopped...

...we stood under the office's ledge

We both got introduced to each other

We got close in just two hours of our meeting

Hm

I know that

You guys got married within the next two months

But still-

-Reason is powerless...

...in the expression of love

What is felt, that should be told

Eyes might lie...

...but heart doesn't

"A joyous spinning top, having severed ties with the leash of misery."

"Is spinning through life, much like the Earth whirls on its axis."

You have a bond with this town "Is spinning through life, much like the Earth whirls on its axis"

Hence, this town is not letting you go. "After deciphering the script of time,"

I go by the name of Devaki "After deciphering the script of time,"

I go by the name of Arivu "Curiosities persist, querying the mysteries ahead"

All the humans are equal "Curiosities persist, querying the mysteries ahead"

All the ideologies that place men above women.

We have rejected all traditions.

...we have denied

He said, there's no one in Mysore

Even business is not yielding much

I will stay in this house

He said that he will look for some job here

I got him a job in the press where I was working

The doctor said that the chances of having a baby are less.

Sperm count is low

Tried every medicine, Arivu

English, Ayurveda

In the end, I even tried the local medicines

Doctors said there will be adverse effects

Hence I left it

I am not saddened by that, Arivu

We can consider adoption if we don't have children

What saddens me is

...Society will speak ill of Yashoda.

That she's incapable...

...Childless

Gopal sir

There's no point in worrying about the world.

We have to confront certain things

Calm down

- Yashu - Uh-huh

Can you make me some coffee?

Will do

One character is bothering me

Are you crazy?

Huh?

Gopal

I feel we shouldn't adopt a child right now.

Can we wait for two more years please?

I made a solemn vow to the goddess.

She will definitely save us

The god and vows...

...will not work

I cannot...

I cannot give you a child

This is the truth Yashu...

...that I am incapable

Um...

Damn!

[GROANS SHARPLY]

I don't comprehend what I saw and what occurred there

I couldn't understand it

I went to the place where the suitcase was

Arivu

Arivu

There was a vial there

upon which it was written "Play with time."

When I opened the suitcase

It previewed unable to access

I couldn't understand anything

Brother

Did you see Arivu?

I cannot find him since last night.

Brother I am asking you

Hm

Huh!

He went to Mysore

Huh?!

He mentioned that he has some pending work.

He said that he will be back after completing the work.

Did he say so?!

He always used to inform me before going out.

He was with me in the room till midnight

Um! He did not inform me anything!

You were asleep dear

He informed me

Some one had visited from the town

He was in pretty urgency

He will be back

When I opened the suitcase which Arivu had left.

I tried to find a clue!

"Can a ship truly find its destination, without plumbing the depths unknown?"

"Is it mandatory to unravel the origin of life's voyage?"

"Shall not the eclipse once more shadow the light born to defy darkness?"

"The shadow of death lurks, yearning to challenge every ray of light."

Mr.Shastry can we travel in time?

I read couple of books today

I'm asking because I saw few evidences of time travelling in that book.

It's only possible in fictional stories

As of present-day human practices,

...time travel is not feasible.

That too...

If we ever had proof of time travel

[LAUGHS SOFTLY]

...it's all crap!

[LAUGHS SOFTLY]

What about a watch!

Or...

...is there a possibility of time travel with eyedrops?

Gopal

Which brand of alcohol did you have last night?

[CHUCKLES]

[CHUCKLES] You're talking weird!

[CHUCKLES]

Mom

Did father have a sister?

Sister?

No

Why do you ask?

Devaki

Was she married?

Oh Devaki

She passed away due to an illness at the hermitage.

Arivu

Do you know someone by the name of Arivu?

Apoorva

Come home we'll speak

So...

Devaki was married

No. She... at the hermitage.

Arivu

Do you know someone by the name of Arivu!?

What happened?

Why are you communicating differently today?

How much have you lied to me, mother?

Why did you hide all this from me?

At least tell me now

Arivu

Appu come to town, I wish to see you...

Do you know someone by the name of Arivu?

My leg is aching a lot

I need an answer

I don't know anyone Apoorva

I need an answer

Come home, we will speak

- Apoorva... - I need an answer

Come home...

I need it now

Arivu is your father

Devaki is your mother

I am the one who raised you

[SOBS] Apoorva

Appu

I didn't share all this, thinking it might make you feel sad.

Where is my father now?

Arivu never returned

...after he left the house!

Devaki

Devaki

[SOBS SOFTLY]

Apoorva how did you get to know about Arivu?

The truth has to come out one day, Isn't it?

Deva...

Mother

What happened to my mother?

After Arivu left

The environment of our house turned different

Devaki

Gopal felt guilty of ruining Devaki's life!

Moreover Devaki...

was hoping for Arivu's return someday

Devaki was eight months pregnant

That night, there were thunderstorms in Rayadurga.

Gopal had went out for work

[GROANS]

Nothing will happen

[STAMMERS] C... Child is coming out

Devaki

Devaki wake up

Nothing will happen

Child is coming out

Calm down a bit

The child will come out of the womb at any moment

Devaki

Devaki

Calm down dear

Alas! What should I do?

Devaki... Devaki!

Devaki!

Gopal is also not at home!

What shall I do?

Devaki be awake dear

Open your mouth

D-Devaki!

Open your mouth Devaki!

Hey!

What shall I do now?

Gopal also is not at home!

Devaki

Devaki

Devaki

Devaki

Devaki wake up

Wake...

Doctor said...

...The mother passed away before giving birth.

The child is fortunate to be alive.

The child was born from the womb of a deceased woman.

[SOBS]

The questions have begun to torment me.

It's a lot to take in

Dad!

You're not wrong!

Why did you leave us behind!

The time traveller Arivu, who's responsible for bringing you, me, and my mother to this state

I've found him!

I won't leave him

Dad!

Dad!

Whose murder?

Did the lord not name him?

What happened Kitty?! Dude leave him

[INDISTINCT SHOUTS]

Leave me

Leave me dude

- Leave me - Come here

Stop it Apoorva

He was recording you!

Hey leave me

I was just reading the script And he's thrashing me for no reason!

How dare you lie

[INDISTINCT SHOUTS]

Enough!

Do you consider yourself a bloody goon?

Kitty! Take him away!

Hey leave me

I didn't like how you behaved Swapna!

He was wrong

Damn!

You didn't have a liking for him from the beginning

You find fault with him even when he's just reading the script

Satya haven't done anything wrong

you shouldn't have physically confronted him

Please understand

Kudos

It's all my fault

I will kill you if you call again

Yeah really! You'll even kill me

The offensive language, you used

Hey hang up

Did I call?

You had called me!

You can hang up

Sure, I will hang up

Why should I disturb you?

Satya might call...

...You guys might have a lot to speak!

Wow!

Now I am beginning to understand your perspectives

I was with you till date!...

- Your heart may be filled with negativity... - Hey, hang up

Apoorva

Green tea

Luckily, it has come out good today!

I don't have to know anything else about you

I don't wish to know the reason behind your actions of following me too!

Please leave

I am at peace after leaving everything behind!

I was waiting for the right moment

I couldn't bear to wait for so long Apoorva

Listen to me once

You don't have to say anything

Nor I will listen to you!

Please leave from here

You have to know this

Please will you leave from here?

Don't you want to know about me Apoorva?

You are my dad

I know this truth

I have no interest in knowing anything further!

That's enough

I need not to know anything more.

Please

let me live as I am

Allow me to remain as I am.

You have to know this Apoorva

I am not anyone but

YOU!

In the next six months Yashoda will pass away

Even Swapna will leave you

You will be placed well

You will have a good earning

But...

...You'll have no one with you!

Ioniliness starts huanting you

In the year 2032!...

...regarding work process you will move to Kolkata

You will get to meet a man named Arbindu Sen

Humanity, love had perished

Life had become a source of agony for me!

Here, no one belongs to me

Hm!

This is also not my town

Despite my desire to move to Bangalore,

...the situation remains the same there too.

I obtained the eyedrops with assistance from Arbindu Sen, illegally

Thank you

Vremya had two features

The first one was...

...the longer you hold the blink...

...You can exist in an alternate timeline

Second is

one way ticket

A small ring will be installed to your body

After which...

By applying the eyedrops and blinking your eyes...

...it's the end

Until you close your eyes for one last time!

Or till the ring breaks,

...you will not be able to return

That was the moment when Apoorva transformed into Arivu

In the search of lost human bonds, friendship and love...

...I travelled to the year 1996

through one way ticket

Sir

Greetings

Hello

Who are you?

I'm Arivu

and am from Mysore

Arivu?!

Nice name

Me and Devaki got together and married!

We cherished and cared for each other deeply, finding fulfilment in our bond

When I was with her

my senses seemed to fade away, captivated by the depth of our connection

I began experiencing an abundance of love, friendship, and family bonding

I embarked on a temporary journey, driven by the hope of reuniting with Revathi, Kallaiyya's lost daughter.

That was the wrong decision I took!

The ring broke as my body accelerated while attempting to save Revathi.

In that timeline, survival becomes limited to just one year once the ring is broken

♪ You've given me everything I desired O'Raama ♪

♪ Everything has been placed as you wished O'Raama ♪

Since that fateful morning,

I had been receiving a notification that the battery's life has expired!

♪ I won't ask you not to give dificulties but Bless me with the strength to endure the pain O'Raama ♪

♪ My heart pines for more, O' Raama ♪

♪ Where else is so tranquil as with you, O' Raama ♪

♪ Rama... Rama... Rama... Rama ♪

[PANTS AND GRUNTS]

After seven months...

I met Arbindu

It proved to be extremely challenging for civilians to find Vremya

I'll search it out it, he said

After which...

I never met him

After an extensive search, I finally managed to locate the Vremya tracer.

I believed it would be beneficial to utilize the Vremya tracer to track and connect with the suitcase I used to use.

It led me to the year 2001

I discovered that there was no access to the previous years

I travelled to 2001

Gopi sir

Oh... Time traveller

When did you come?

Huh?!

Time traveller?!

-Leave from here -No

I will let you know everything!

Let me explain you everything!

Sir, Please understand

What?

What should I make of this revelation?

Huh?

Please listen to me once

There's nothing left to talk

Yashu will be here in a moment!

Let's meet near the river in the morning!

Gopal sir, where's Devaki?

Please refrain from causing any further trouble.

Gopal sir, I want to see Devaki once

Devaki...

...We are taking care of Devaki's child Arivu

Please don't take the child away from us!

Please leave

Child?!

What are you talking about?

I earnestly wish to see Devaki once, please.

We have lost Devaki

What happened to Devaki, Gopal sir

Gopal sir

Gopal sir

What happened to Devaki, Gopal sir

What happened to Devaki, Gopal sir

We have lost Devaki

- What? - Leave me

- Gopal sir... Gopal sir! - Leave me

Please... Please... Please!

Hey!

I want to see the child once

It's our child

Leave me

Gopal sir!

I want to see the child once

It's not possible

Gopal!

I want to see my child once

Gopal!

Give me back my child Gopal

[GASPS AND GROANS]

Leave me

- I did not die on that day! - Gopal!

I had to return to the year 2034!

I was along again!

You mean!

...you are son of Devaki

You mean, I!

Did I sleep with my mother

and gave birth to myself!?

No!

I won't believe this

I really won't believe this

Believe it or not

That's the truth Apoorva

This is a loop

I find myself struggling to stop it, despite making numerous attempts.

Arivu and Devaki will unite

Apoorva will take birth!

Apoorva becomes alone

He will embark on a time-travel journey in search of love.

Apoorva will again become Arivu

Arivu and Devaki will unite

Vremya was banned in India

I haven't come across any comparable product to it.

In 2054...

...I tried to end my life

But...

My death will not resolve this issue.

To stop Apporva becoming Arivu

I felt of doing a final try

I received a response to my message from a website named "Troista" on the dark web

By taking one way ticket

I travelled back thirty-three years!

That is

...I travelled to 2021

Since I couldn't access the previous years

Apoorva

I can't change my past

But...

...you can change your future

I have come here to end this!

If Apoorva is to avoid becoming Arivu,

...you must die

I tried to kill you many times!

My heart couldn't accept it.

I wanted to inform you about this earlier.

If you don't want to commit a mistake by being me!

...this is the only option Apoorva

I only have one request

Give me a day

I will come to your place tomorrow

Mom, how are you?

How are you Appu?

You haven't uttered a word since you discovered that.

Did you eat?

[SNIFFLES]

Come home, Appu

I wish to see you

[SOBS]

It might be preferable for certain questions to remain unanswered.

It would have been better, if many things remained as questions

"My dear"

"Your presence brings immense joy."

"When your gaze nestles nearer."

"My innermost thoughts await a new dawn."

"Your silence has transformed into a whisper."

"When we finally meet on that final day."

"Rescue me and commence a fresh voyage."

"May all my contemplations grant you the blessings."

Appu

What did you feel about me asking time!

I was pretty confirmed that you were interested too!

Confirm?

Do not blabber!

Tch!

Don't I know about you?

If you were not sure!

...You would have denied my proposal!

When you asked for some more time!

...I was 90 percent sure that you would agree!

Tch!

Swapna

Sorry

Hey!

I had mentioned that I wanted to show you something!

Wait!

What's this?

This is my mother's engagement ring!

Had I not told you?

An unexpected force intervened and saved my mother when she attempted to commit suicide

She found this ring over there!

She requested my father to use the same ring during their engagement.

She casually mentioned this to me while we were having a conversation.

She had expressed her intention to give the same ring during my marriage as well.

So, I brought this to show you.

"It appears as though a fading flower has, for one final time, smiled in my direction."

"The sky that once adorned the heavens with a rangoli has now faded into a colorless canvas."

"Before fading away, please release the lingering emotions".

"I require no air for existence; love alone suffices."

Oh my love!

[SIGH PEACEFULLY]

Apoorva

I recommend trying it before it cools down.

Apoorva

[LAUGHING]

Hey!

Hey... Hey!

What are you doing?

My death will not resolve this issue.

You committed the mistake,

and now I should suffer the punishment?

Hey... Hey!

Don't get emotional.

-Please understand -Why?

Are you afraid of death?

- My death won't change anything! - Nothing has to change

You

Why did you come into my life?

Everything used to be fine before.

But...

...Nothing appears to be the way it was before.

Nothing will remain the way it used to be!

Look

Even if you kill me

You will not be able to come out of this loop

You have to die for Apoorva to not become Arivu!

Why should I die?

You have to die

Hey... Hey... Hey... Hey!

[INHALES SHARPLY]

[GROANS]

Damn!

[SOBS SOFTLY]

[SOBS SOFTLY]

[SNIFFLES]

[SOBS SOFTLY]

Sinner in the womb

Sinner in the marriage

Oedipus! The sinner with blood on his hands!

O Light!

Light!

"Envelop me, oh light! For I have endured, even after everything has been revealed."

"Envelop me, oh light! For I have endured, even after everything has been revealed."

"May it be that our paths don't cross again."

"May it be that our paths don't cross again."

"I will kill my father

and will sleep with my mother", he said!

Gopal, do we have plenty of time?

The roads are not good too!

It may take half hour

That's fine Mr.Shastry, We can reach

Shall we go?

On hearing that, I fled!

[IN UNISON] Is it?

Satya as king Oedipus

Harshita as Jocasta
